Fifty-five years.
One recipe.
We have been making world-class dried meats since 1970. The recipe hasn't changed.
Our original recipe
Mr Jan De Beer perfects our original recipe for boerewors, biltong and droëwors in Brits, South Africa. The products become popular with the local community, and word spreads fast about the family's commitment to quality. It was only the start of the De Beer family's journey.
Australia beckons
The De Beer family decide to put down roots in Brisbane. It isn't easy, but they open several butcher shops around Queensland and introduce the family recipe to Aussies young and old. Success is phenomenal, and demand soon outgrows the kitchen.
Our first factory
Demand for our boerewors, biltong and droëwors keeps growing, so we open a brand new factory in Capalaba, Brisbane. Production doubles, and we start offering contract manufacturing.
Capalaba expansion
Contract manufacturing, custom recipe blending, packaging and logistics prove so popular that we need more space, more equipment and more staff. We expand the Capalaba factory.
Bigger things
We outgrow Capalaba again, so we think big and custom-build our factory in Rocklea, Brisbane. It has almost five times the floor space, more equipment and over 25 staff.
From our family to yours
Rocklea is still turning out high-quality boerewors, biltong and droëwors, made here in sunny Queensland. We make it with passion and a commitment to quality that keeps growing.
